What is Profile Enrichment?
Profile Enrichment allows you to extract deep profile data from LinkedIn profiles - including personal email addresses, extensive work experience, education and more.
How does it work?
Once you've completed your first People export with Lix, you will see the Enrichment option appear in the menu of your dashboard. Head into the enrichment area, select which search you would like to enrich and follow the steps. Lix will then open a separate browser window and cycle through these profiles, extracting data.
How to use profile enrichment:
Please make sure you have added the Lix extension to your browser.

Then, log int o your LinkedIn account and perform a regular People search.
Click the LIX extension which will appear in the top right hand corner of your toolbar.
When the toolbar drops down, select the number of profiles you'd like to extract, toggle on or off the 'email finder' option as applicable and hit the LIX IT button.
When this is complete, head to the Enrichment area of your dashboard and select the search you would like to enrich.
Then, hit the enrich button and a new browser window will appear. You can leave this running in the background, but keeping it open often leads to a more stable experience when using Chrome, as background windows are sometimes restricted in their actions.

Which data and supported versions of LinkedIn?
Profile Enrichment is supported by all versions of LinkedIn that Lix currently supports, however it works best with LinkedIn Premium or Sales Navigator. You can find the full list of extracted information by using the following link:
What are the download limits?
The download limits are set by LinkedIn pageview limits. For LinkedIn standard, you can view (and therefore export) up to 1,000 full profiles per day. With Premium or Sales Navigator this rises to 2,500 - although we do not advice enriching this many results at once. Working in batches of 200-500 at a time is advised.
LIX only allows you to extract data that is made publicly available by the person or organisation in the search result.
